    I've got a buddy with a 3d printer. I could do a model of the bane mask and send it to him...

    Even add a place to hold an ammonia capsule for right before a big lift.

    Those are for when you want to workout your diaphragm at the same time as your lifting or cardio...lol

    Some of the infantry guys used to do this in the base gym with their gas masks. I imagine it's the same thing.

    @Red, it's supposed to simulate high altitude training but studies haven't really validated this. It does seem to make your diaphragm stronger but doesn't seem to increase red blood cells.

    Yeah, at least the guys training in gas masks could claim to be getting used to their NBCD equipment.

    "Yo bro, why you wearing that mask?"

    "Oh man, I have ebola. Don't want me spitting everywhere when I'm squattin'. Want to work in?"

    Than after your set, you hand the mask to that person for theirs.

    I test my 1RM every Sunday which is my rest day. If I hit it I add 5 lbs the next week.

    not really much of a rest day if you're testing out a one rep max.

    also testing that once a week is way over kill and will short circuit your long term training plans/gains.

    Works for me. I also take Saturday off.

    I'm not advising you to do anything. The two things I said are facts.

    Testing 1rpm =/= rest day
    Testing 1 rpm weekly will stall your training.

    You may chose to do whatever you wish with that information.
    But they are with out unquestionably true.
    Hmm. One day a couple weeks ago, I benched for reps. The next day, I tried to do a one rep max. It wasn't until three days after attempting the 1rm that I went back to benching for reps. I had been making steady progression before, but all of a sudden my progression slowed down, and since then I've barely been making progress compared to before. Do you think that's just a coincidence or could I really have messed things up?

    There's a lot of variables, but doing a 1RM test (assuming you don't harm yourself) isn't going to impact your ability to lift at working levels after proper rest. I'd check your lifting program.

    Perhaps Jason wasn't adequately recovered when he went back and that kind threw his planned progression out of whack or he was headed for a plateau at the time when he tested his 1RM?
